food addiction #127
This week's food addiction is Baklawa. Brought to you by a recent trip to Bankstown. My fave is the lebanese version - layers of filo pastry and pistachios drenched with rosewater honey. Crunchy and dense and sweet. Divine! We paid $8 for half a kilo whcih has about 14 pieces. So far i've eaten 10 pieces...since yesterday. I wish I had my camera at the shop - the nice man had all these 'beudiful'(that was the written sign) continental cakes and biscuits. So yeah, my chances of doing a single chin up are diminishing at the same rate as my baklawa intake increases...hee!

Hey! I have the same goal - to be able to do a single unassisted chin-up!
So far in my 20+ (give or take a few) years of existence I have managed to do exactly 0 chin-ups.. how sad is that? :'0
Ahhh, Bankstown, my old haunt. How I miss Baklava, manush (ok, i know that's not the right spelling) and a good falefel (bloody hell lebanese food is difficult to spell).
kim - yeah i was thinking of you when i was in bankstown.. i even passed your favourite yoghurt smoothie place in bankstown square and considered drinking one for you ha ha
